As with village, the art is great and the idea is one I support wholeheartedly. I hate waiting so long between releases. I'm also concerned that future map packs will be $13 instead of $10, even though the tile count won't increase.

***NOTE*** I wrote a long, extensive review of this product, but when I tried to submit, it took me out and I lost everything I typed.

The thing I hate about products like this is that we have to wait months in between releases. This is an exceptional GM aid, but it leaves me wanting more, and out of frustration I will need to get other tiles from other sources.

The artwork is great, but layout can be a bit confusing, since there's no overview or guideline. I appreciate that they can be arranged in a variety of manners and are customizeable, but I would also like the option of using all of them for a large focal map.

We really need several sets like this just for a village. I'd like to see some road tiles, a jail, an inn, and maybe a few homes.

Let's be honest, here. While we all love orcs, and yes, DM's can never have enough of them, the orcs offered in this "critter pack" are the leftovers that nobody wants. For gamers who collect the D&D minis and are familiar with them, you will notice that none of the "good" ones are in this pack.

None of these orcs are in any sense traditional, though I do like the skeleton orc. I suppose that if someone has collected large armies of pewter orcs from another maker, these could complement that, but I personally don't think there's much value in this product.

I've been waiting for nearly 20 years for someone to come up with this idea, and I must say that Gamemastery has done a good job. The artwork is very nice, and each card has a unique drawing and description, even for similar items.

As much as I love this product, I would really like to see a set of cards containing more mundane items that we typically see in an adventurer's inventory. This way we could actually carry cards representing everything that our character owns, such as backpack, torches, tinderbox, boots, cape, flasks of oil, thieves tools, etc.

Good job, Paizo, and looking forward to more boosters!
